Despite the apparent silence, the Zýmē winery is hiving with life. The wine ferments and then ages, protected by the rock and warmed by the wood. In the distance, you can hear the rush of water from an underground source. The is the centre of Valpolicella, the beating heart of Zýmē.

JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE
OF VALPOLICELLA
The beating heart
of Zýmē.


QUARRY
FOOTSTEPS ECHO AROUND
THE ANCIENT STONE HALLS;
VISITORS FEEL ENVELOPED IN
A PROTECTIVE SHELL. IN THE
SILENCE, THE BARRELS RISE UP
LIKE IMPOSING GUARDIANS.



The union of human involvement and the power of nature, the whole winery is a journey of discovery of the ideas underlying Zýmē’s ethics and philosophy.



The main five-sided building where visitors are greeted and which houses the wine shop is the physical representation of the very idea of wine: mankind, vines, soil, water and sun are the five vital elements without which none of this would be possible. The barrel cellar obtained from the old quarry and using its own stone as walls is the embodiment of a circular philosophy that gives back to mother nature what she has created. Outside, Valpolicella. Inside, Zýmē.
